Not sure how the k3 is, but on my kindle all you do is install usbnet via NiLuJe's package and use putty/kitty to ssh or telnet into the kindle.

htm/chm documents don't display chinese characters properly. it's limited to Librerator only: if i change the extenstion from .htm to .txt. Kindle native reader can read it without problem, while in librerator, it's still the same garbage characters.
first shot from librerator second from kindle reader |

Different font files.
See if you can get Librerator to use the same font file as the native reader. From the first post of this thread: Quote:

i have 'kindle font hack' installed on the k4NT. both kindle and librerator were set to use 'Droid sans fallback'. I've tried using other Chinese fonts in librerator, i.e. MSYH, wenquanyi micro, to no avail.

Specifically, check Librerator's font selections in the Librerator configuration. Those will over-ride anything else you set, anywhere. |

double checked, yes, the librerator's font was set to 'droid san fallback'. other files i have on the kindle in .txt, mobi, epub format can display chinese characters correctly, the issue are with .htm/.chm files.

*.htm == *.html
I suppose you can just use a text editor same as any other web page. |

of course i could do that.
but i'm more interested in getting an answer regarding the original question, maybe from OP if he's still around. it looks like librerator does some processing on the htm/chm formatted file and causes error on the display of unicode document other than english. |

It is the question I am trying to get you to research. **IT IS** the selection of the font file to use in the display of the book. Your answers so far make having font over-rides in the documents themselves the likely problem. So look, and tell us what you find. |

pardon me, i didn't understand what override font is, whether it's a librerator setting's or the .htm document's issue. since i couldn't find any override font setting in librerator, i assume it's the webpage setting. here's the beginning of source page for the .htm file i downloaded from web. it seems to indicate font: 11pt '宋体' as the override font, correct? <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html> <head> <META HTTP-EQUIV="content-type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=gb2312"> <STYLE type='text/css'> <!-- a{text-transform: none; text-decoration: none;} a:hover {color: #FF0000; text-decoration: underline} td { font: 11pt '宋体'} --> pre { white-space: pre-wrap; /* css-3 */ white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; /* Mozilla, since 1999 */ white-space: -pre-wrap; /* Opera 4-6 */ white-space: -o-pre-wrap; /* Opera 7 */ word-wrap: break-word; /* Internet Explorer 5.5+ */ width:998px; overflow:hidden; line-height:20px; } </STYLE> <title>留园网-纹面(55、56、57、58、59) -6park.com</title> <meta name="Keywords" content=""> <meta name="Description" content="纹面(55、56、57、58、59)"> </head> <body leftmargin='0' topmargin='0' marginwidth='0' marginheight='0' bgcolor='#ffffff'> <div class="body_center" id="head_ad"> <center><script language="JavaScript"> |

Yes, at least for table data.
Here is most likely the problem: charset=gb2312 That is Microsoft's (two byte) idea of the National Standard character set (which is not unicode, its row&column of the unicode, code block). Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GB_2312 http://www.herongyang.com/Unicode/GB...acter-Set.html Perhaps you can find a tool that will re-code that document into something other than Chinese Windows coding. |
